Seconds Please!! - Dumplings review by Kurtz
Outstanding – director Chan cheerfully tramples on every taboo you can think of in this twisting tale of human vanity and the dark places it can take us. Miriam Yeung is the insecure trophy wife who is trying to keep one step ahead of her errant husband’s desires, so she turns to Aunt Mei, who has a special (and very gruesome) recipe for dumplings with rejuvenating properties. It’s beautifully shot by Christopher Doyle and it gives some amazing views of the Hong Kong you don’t really see. Brilliant- you’ll never look at your sixty-four –year-old aunt in the same way again.
